What is the relation of heredity to individual differences?
individual difference due to heredity
Is progeria due to heredity?
no
What is the difference between heredity and mutation?
Heredity is how information is based from one generation to the next; encoded in the DNA molecule. A mutation is a mistake that is made in the DNA. Most mutations have no affect, some are harmful, and a small number confer an advantage. Natural Selection works to eliminate the harmful and enhance the beneficial.
Is Hirschsprung Disease due to heredity?
Yes
What did Hugo de Vries discover?
Hugo de Vries is known chiefly for suggesting the concept of genes, rediscovering the laws of heredity in the 1890s while unaware of Gregor Mendel's work, for introducing the term "mutation", and for developing a mutation theory of evolution.
What do genes have to do with heredity?
Everything. Genes are the recipe that builds bodies and are passed from parent to child. One diploid set from mom and one from dad that has all their traits, subject to mutation, independent assortment of chromosomes, crossing over and random fertilization, that are passed on to progeny in the process of heredity.
Is intestinal ischemia inheritable?
Intestinal ischemia is indirectly due to heredity. The condition is caused by the narrowing or blocking of an artery, and one of the reasons this may happen is due to cholesterol buildup. Since high cholesterol is at least partly due to heredity, intestinal ischemia can be thought of as inheritable.
How Heredity and environment causes individual differences?
Heredity causes individual differences because of genetic traits passed down from parent to child. The environment can cause individual differences due to inequality or even accidents.
A change in a population gene pool due to a chance event?
The sudden change in the genetic make up or genetic form of an individual is called gene mutation.
Why do plants from seeds not always inherit their parents traits?
Due to recombination and mutation
Is photographic memory a mutation?
yes due to people accesing more of their brains
What is a founder mutation?
A founder mutation is a genetic alteration that is present in a population due to its ancestry from a small group of individuals who carried the mutation. This mutation can be passed down through generations, leading to a high frequency of the mutation in a specific population.
